We thank everyone who has helped support PMMail by alleviating
some of the burden of developing utilities for PMMail. If you think
you have a good idea for a needed utility and want to write one,
feel free to contact us
(info@blueprintsoftwareworks.com) for any information that
you might need to help you write the utility.
All of these utilities come with very good documentation that
must be read prior to using them. Please note that
neither Blueprint Software Works Inc., nor the individual third
party authors are responsible for any damage done to data on your
harddrive, related to PMMail, or not.
Preface
Many of the popular PMMail for OS/2 utilities were written in
REXX. Thankfully, because the data formats are the same, many of
these utilities can be used for the Windows version of PMMail as
well. There are several REXX interpreters for the Windows platform.
You will need one of these to get any utility written in REXX to
work under windows. Please click here for more
information.

REXX Interpreters for
Windows
Object REXX
by I.B.M.
The basic edition, like in OS/2, is $59. There's a developers
edition for $199 with GUI stuff. See http://www-306.ibm.com/software/awdtools/obj-rexx/
for more info. All of my Rexx scripts for PMMail/2 work without
modification in PMMail 98. Instead of entering MYPROG.CMD for
PMMail/2, I type REXX MYPROG.CMD in PMMail 98.
Regina REXX
by Anders Christensen/Mark Hessling
Regina is a Rexx interpreter that has been ported to most Unix
platforms and also to OS/2, DOS, Win95/98/NT, Amiga, QNX, BeOS,
OpenVMS and OpenEdition. It is free.
There is also the small utility named #.exe It allows to write
NT batch files in POSIX-like style. The first line must be
# regina.exe %~f0 %* & exit
REXX (or other language, e.g. awk) script follows this line.
Regina REXX can be found at Mark Hessling's Home

Address Book converter from Pegasus Mailer to
PMMail
by Michael Baum
The pega2pmm Perl script takes as arguments the path to the
relevant Pegasus mail folder and the path to the PMMail Tools
directory. The user gets to select which Pegasus address book to
convert, and which PMMail address book to use as a target. And a
few other options.

Folder and E-mail conversion instructions from Pegasus
Mailer to PMMail
by Michael Baum
1. In PMMail, create a folder to hold the transferred messages.
You can use an existing folder if you're paticularly gutsy.
2. In Pegasus Mail, open the desired source folder, and select
(highlight) the messages to be exported. Under the Folder menu,
choose the utility "Extract Messages..." and the option "To
separate files, creating unique names."
3. A directory window will open prompting you for a root
filename and the directory to use as a target. Select the desired
PMMail mail directory, of course. As a template name, use the 8.3
format with a reasonable basic filename ("pegexprt.000" ?). Pegasus
will ignore your extension and dump all the selected messages in
the target directory with names that use your file name and have
numeric extensions beginning with 000 and counting up. Limit is 999
messages, obviously.
4. In PMMail, select the target folder and use the reindex
utility. This works with reasonable accuracy. I get some peculiar
and anomalous behavior with the resulting folders -- the sort order
of the messages doesn't always seem correct, and I find that when I
open the folder I may need to click the little sorting buttons to
rearrange things. But it's not debilitating and all the messages
plus attachments are preserved.

A PMMSend wrapper to make PMMSend work like the UN*X MAIL
command
Alexander Mai
AMFE is a REXX-script which offers a syntax like the un*x
utility *mail* i.e. it can read and send from stdin and also prompt
interactively for missing data like address and/or account. You can
also specify a default account and use its default signature. (all
missing features related to sending messages will be implemented in
future releases ;-)

A script to process digests for display with
PMMail
Paul Orgren
UNDIGEST.CMD is a REXX script to trick PM Mail into treating a
multipart digest as a regular message. Install this script in a
.cmd file, and then put it into use by adding a filter to incoming
messages that have a subject line known to be a digest you
subscribe to (use A_c_count/_U_tilities Settings... and select the
"Filter" tab)

A REXX/Perl script for filtering that will move e-mail to
another account
Simon Hampton (REXX) and Steven M. Scotten (Perl)
Many ISPs give their clients the possibility to have a second
alias which points to their one unique e-mail box (for example
sending to Liesbeth.Devriendt@skynet.be will cause an e-mail to
arrive in my mail box, Simon.Hampton@skynet.be). If you set up a
filter, then it is easy to put all the mails sent to the alias into
a seperate mail folder. But if your alias user sends a mail using
PMMail, then the ordinary address is used in the reply-to and from
fields, so anybody replying to such a mail will return it to mail
account holder rather than the alias. Not sucha big deal, but I
wanted to get round this problem. This program simply changes your
normal return to address and from address to point to your alias
rather than normal email address.
All you need to do is edit the two lines below, place the script
somewhere sensible, e.g. \pmail\pmmail, and set up a filter:
account => utilities => new
Give the filter a name, have it search thefor text that you only
find in mails from the alias user (find something unique in their
signature file), set it as 'pre-send' and set action as rexx script
(background) and insert the full path and name of this script.

Utility to read digest messages in thread
order
Steve Perez
This Rexx script which helps me read Internet mail list digests
in thread order. I even have played a little with putting in a
reply function that works with PMMSend(that version isn't public
because the external editor call isn't working with Kedit for some
reason).
I posted this program (I call it List Thread Viewer) on hobbes
and ftp.cdrom.com. I've only heard from a handful of users that
have tried it...about the only one I know of that seems to be using
it regularly is Delfi...but I thought that if he and I find it
useful, others would, too. I'm not touting it because it's kinda
primitive; even so, it is especially useful for those livelier
discussion lists with many threads (like OS2-L), and, if you go
days without reviewing, you're overwhelmed by the volume of
traffic.
You can find it at the following URL:
